Seattle Seahawks tight end Luke Willson believes the addition of Jimmy Graham to the unit will 'put a lot of pressure on defenses' in 2015.
Willson, 25, finished his first season as a starter, showing field-stretching ability; however, with the addition of Graham, he may find a lot more open space.
He says when the two are on the field at the same time, there will be some matchup...

It's pretty typical for an NFL team to prioritize its offseason based on what's next. In-house re-signings and the first wave of free agency get the bulk of the attention in March, transitioning to more of a draft focus in April. If a player is looking for an extension, but has another year left on a previous deal, it usually works like any line in any walk of life. Ya gotta...

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Seahawks QB Russell Wilson will not receive a fully guaranteed contract extension from Seattle. According to Rapoport, Wilson’s next agreement will make him the highest paid player in the league, and will include a large amount of guaranteed money. Seattle and Wilson are reportedly looking to have a long-term ...

The clock is ticking on the Seattle Seahawks to sign Russell Wilson to a long-term extension before he enters the final year of his rookie deal.
Set to count just $1.7 million against the cap in 2015, Wilson is slated to receive a rather large payday in the not-so-distant future. If the two sides cannot come to a solution on an extension, the Super Bowl-winning signal caller will...

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is entering the final year of his rookie contractor that will pay him $1.542 million.
On Saturday, Wilson was asked about a potential contract extension.
“In terms of my contract, I don’t really talk about that kind of stuff,” Wilson told reporters in Surprise, Ariz, via the Everett Herald. “I love...

Despite the recent addition of Jimmy Graham, the Seattle Seahawks still have a minor void at Wide Receiver. Besides Doug Baldwin, there hasn’t been much production at the position. Here are some still-available free agent receivers that the Seahawks could possibly sign.
1. Greg Jennings, Vikings
Recently released Vikings receiver Greg Jennings
Jennings is probably the most...

Russell Wilson passed on his baseball career to play in the NFL, but make no mistake. He still can rake.
The Seattle Seahawks quarterback, who excelled in both sports at NC State, recently stopped by Texas Rangers training camp for the second straight year to take a few swings during batting practice.

Before the draft build picks up more speed in the coming weeks, looking to what Seattle will do in the meantime will be key to any 2015 success, here are a few areas to watch.Paying Wilson and WagnerWith just Ahtyba Rubin to count as a 'outside' free agent aquisition this off-season for Seattle, along with the extending of Marshawn Lynch's contract, the next move will be to extend...

Coming off two straight 7-9 seasons in 2010 and 2011, the Seattle Seahawks entered the offseason with question marks at several positions. Entering the 2012 draft, the team still had several holes to fill. What happened in April 2012 ultimately steered the team in the right direction, as seen by the results of the past three seasons. While the jury is still out on the 2013 and 2014...

The New Orleans Saints dealt one of the best tight ends in the NFL when they traded Jimmy Graham to the Seattle Seahawks just a couple of weeks ago.
However, since the trade took place, head coach Sean Payton has been talking up tight end Josh Hill, who was an undrafted free agent back in 2013 (via ESPN).
This Josh Hill is another player that I love. I love. When you look at...

Extra points are not very exciting, but they have decided games over the years. I can recall as a kid watching Dwight Clark make "the Catch" and hoping and praying that whoever the 49ers kicker was would miss the PAT so the Cowboys could still be in it. They didn't of course because most of the time the extra point is not missed.This has led many to calling the play boring, pointless...

With the addition of four compensatory picks, the Seattle Seahawks have 11 selections in the upcoming 2015 NFL Draft.

Fourth round: 3
Fifth round: 2

On Monday, Seattle Seahawks General Manager John Schneider went on 710 ESPN and answered some questions. Perhaps an underrated issue that is actually of great importance is that of defensive tackle Brandon Mebane's future with the team.
There is only one year remaining on Mebane's deal, but at $5.5 million, a cheaper option being signed in Ahtyba Rubin, and the fast-approaching likely...

After progressing in each of his four seasons with the Seahawks it was a bit of a surprise to see Seattle let Golden Tate go in free agency after their Super Bowl win. The decision to do so had nothing to do with Tate. It was just an unfortunate development thanks to the business side of the game. The team needed to sign him or defensive lineman Michael Bennett.With the draft wide...

Great teams build through the NFL Draft. Bad teams try (and fail) to do it through free agency. That’s good news for Seattle Seahawks fans because their front office does the draft as well as anybody else around the league.
You probably already know that general manager John Schneider excels at finding latent late-round talents and turning them into superstars in conjunction with...

Ludacris recently appeared on ESPN’s His and Hers to talk about his new album, Ludaversal, which is set to be released on March 31.
He’s been relatively quiet about the album up to this point, so when he revealed that a track inspired by Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch would be on it, hosts Michael Smith and Jemele Hill were all ears.
Ludacris confirmed there’s...

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch may not be happy about how his biopic turned out, but he’s surely ready to test other mediums.
Chris “Ludacris” Bridges revealed on ESPN earlier this week that Lynch will appear on a video for his new song titled Best Mode.
The song was obviously inspired by Lynch himself.
Interestingly enough, Seattle’s top rusher normally prefers...

With free agency dying down before the Draft buzz builds in the coming weeks, Pete Carroll spoke today (Wednesday) to gathered reporters, stating their intent to bring back three of their on-the-market free agents.

The Seattle Seahawks reportedly have denied a report that defensive end Michael Bennett has requested a trade, according to an ESPN report.
